According to my Japanese lessons 15 weeks for each xD
We'll see how good I am after my first 15 weeks though ^^

Hmm dunno, so far I like counting in Japanese. There are just a few annoying exceptions to the rule like "ha-s-sai" instead of "hachi-sai" :P

Naruhodo :3 Yeah Google Translate told me what it meant as a whole, but can't tell me the different parts individually ^^
There is still a lot of stuff missing, I hope we learn things like talking about the future and the past soon.


Then you haven't gotten to the real meat of counting yet :P
Let me enlighten you of the horror of japanese counting :3

Oh you mean that, yeah I came across some strange counting techniques while watching anime and wondered why that is. I already know about hatachi which is used for 20 years :3

I indeed haven't gotten to most of them yet though, so far I'm content to be counting without any reference xD

I only know hiragana so far, but I recognize almost all of them so far at least :3

Yep the first course I'm taking is about hiragana and the second one about katakana. I'll see how I feel about learning Japanese after the first course though ^^

So much studying, how diligent :3

Fine I guess, the usual mix between "depressed af" and "it could be worse, let's just sit at home, play games and watch animu" xD

Well I was impressed by the counting when I started out because it seemed much simpler than German and English counting. But like in every language there are some traps here and there which screw the system up again xD

I so often get confused with the counting systems being bilingual. I often need to check if I'm saying the right number.

That's what you get when the native method of counting reverses the pronunciation when compared to english :3
Still better than french though :3
